Yes we can, but no, I don't think it will be a good idea.
First, this will need modification of all volunteer IRC servers, and
documentation of ports that need to be open will be more difficult
because they will only be aware outright of the official IRC port.
Second, as we open higher-numbered ports it'll just be a "wild goose
chase" if you will, between us and your administrators. As they find out
of these alternative ports, they'll just close things down. Rinse,
lather, repeat. If you're not allowed to access IRC from work when you
should be allowed to do so, please talk to your administrators and work
things out so that access to port 6667 can be opened up, at least
selectively for connections to irc.free.net.ph.
On behalf of the Free Network Group Junta, I hope you understand.
